My Story

I know firsthand how powerful the mental side of sports can be.

Throughout my soccer career, I was always considered a very good player. I had the ability, the work ethic, and the passion for the game. But for a long time, I struggled to consistently unlock my potential.

The biggest challenge wasn’t physical—it was mental.

I often let my thoughts and emotions get the better of me. Nervousness, self-doubt, and a fear of failure would creep into my mind, especially when I cared most about performing well. I knew what I was capable of, but I couldn’t always access that ability when it mattered most. It was frustrating to feel like the player I was in training wasn’t always the player I became in games.

That changed when I began working with a mental performance coach.

For the first time, I learned how to understand and manage my thoughts and emotions rather than allowing them to control me. I learned that the goal wasn’t to eliminate nervousness or pressure, but to understand them, manage them, and use them to my advantage. As I developed my mental game, I became a completely different player—and, more importantly, a more confident version of myself.

When I played at Trinity College, that mental growth made a tremendous difference. During my freshman season, I finished tied for the most goals on the team. The ability had always been there. I had finally learned how to consistently access it.

That experience became the foundation for what I do today.

I earned my degree in Psychology from Trinity College and became a Certified Mental Game Coaching Professional (MGCP), combining my background in psychology, experience as a collegiate athlete, and professional training in mental performance coaching.

Now, I help athletes experience the same transformation I experienced—to stop being held back by fear, overthinking, pressure, and self-doubt, and start competing with greater confidence, focus, and belief.

I know what it feels like to have the ability but struggle to show it consistently. My goal is to help athletes unlock the potential that is already inside of them.
